Review of August: Osage County (2013) by Jerry K — 10 Apr 2014
THREE STAR REVIEW - AUGUST OSAGE COUNTY Yet another film about family dysfunction. OY!!! Somehow I felt August Osage County provided its audiences a much more satisfying experience on a stage, rather than the up close and personal discomfort of film close-ups.
Despite, or perhaps because of over the top performances by most cast members including the doyenne Meryl Streep and the not-so Pretty Woman in this film, Julia Roberts only Margo Martindale and Chris Cooper seem to strike a fine nuanced balance in their portrayals. Worth a glance for film buffs, but not a fun two hours at the movies.
